I know she’s only two, but at this point Irelynd is not showing a whole lot of interest in earning a full-ride to UCLA and becoming the next Mia Hamm.Â On a positive note, she is now kicking the ball instead of picking it up and throwing it into the goal.Â I’m not giving up though…still have sixteen years to work on her!

Apparently there is this thing called “trick-or-trunking,” where you line up cars, decorate the trunks, and then pass out candy.Â Maybe it’s nothing new or maybe it’s just a crazy Texas thing.Â Regardless, that is what we did this afternoon.Â Irelynd thought she had died and gone to heaven with all the candy she receiving and stuffing into her basket. What I love about my sweet girl is all I have to do is give her one little piece and she’s content.Â The rest just “disappears!”Â I’m sure this will be the last year that trick will work!

After talking about it for almost six months, we finally moved Irelynd into her “big girl bed” today.Â Haidyn also made the move out of the co-sleeper and into her “big girl bed,” as Irelynd calls it.Â Irelynd napped fine in her new bed, but she’s struggling tonight.Â A little while ago we could hear her yelling, “mommy, I don’t like this bed!”Â Good thing I’m accustomed to sleepless nights.

Since Jon is out of town, Irelynd has taken it upon herself to keep Haidyn entertained while I try and get things done around the house. Tonight was a game of “bath peek-a-boo.” I think Haidyn was more entertained by Irelynd cracking herself up than the actual game.
